Ok, I seem to have found it in the archives:

"You need to set a SYMBOLSCALE at the layer level. That's the scale
denominator (e.g. 100000) at which a label SIZE will be equal to what you
set in the mapfile. As you move away from that value

the labels will get larger or smaller.
"

Indeed I've put SYMBOLSCALE 1000 in the layer object and SIZE 6 in the LABEL
object, and now the labels stay the same size when measured in map units.
All I have to find out is the relation between SYMBOLSCALE SIZE and the map
units.

Thank for help.
